Lantau

Tai O, Lantau's largest settlement.   Here the Tanka boat  people have settled in converted boats  and stilt houses built over a tidal creek.

Once a thriving port exporting salt and fish to mainland China, the locals now farm ducks, fish and make fish paste which accounts for the strong odour hanging over the village.

Tai O is built partly on Lantau and partly on a small adjacent island.  Two women pull the ferry boat across the creek by a rope.

One of the narrow winding streets of Tai O village, famous for it's seafood.
